Check Perry Release Records

Perry Release or Transfer

Perry Correctional Institution is an SCDC state prison in the Greenville County institution directory. It is not a county jail. People there are in state corrections custody, so a county bond-out workflow and the Greenville “Incarcerated Inmates” roster do not establish their release. SCDC controls the institutional record.

Departure from Perry can mean two very different things. A release type such as RELEASED, PROBATION, or COMMUNITY SUPV indicates departure from SCDC institutional custody with a stated next status. A move from Perry to another SCDC prison is an institution transfer and remains state custody. A detainer can also lead to another authority taking custody. Never translate a missing Perry location into unrestricted community release.

Confirm a Perry Release

Use SCDC's dedicated Released Inmate Search for an actual state release. The form requires a beginning and ending release date and a county choice. GREENVILLE is available. That county field is part of the SCDC release database, not proof that the person was booked or released by GCDC.

1. Choose a defensible release-date range and Greenville county.
2. Compare the SCDC ID, name, sex, race, and age to avoid a namesake.
3. Read Release Date and Release Type exactly as displayed.
4. Cross-reference the SCDC ID in the individual offender system.
5. Check SCDPPPS if the result points to probation or community supervision.

The ordinary SCDC search excludes released people and functions as a current-incarcerated snapshot. It can show present location and history while someone remains in custody. It is not the released-first route. Conversely, the released search does not prove that no detainer or receiving authority followed the SCDC event.

Perry Release Result Fields

SCDC's released result is unusually specific. It displays SCDC ID, name, sex, race, age, sex-offender indicator, Release Date, Release Type, and county. Export fields include SID, victim indicator, detainer indicator, and most serious offense. Identity fields help separate people with similar names; they should not be treated as a substitute for the SCDC number.

Release Type needs careful reading. PROBATION and COMMUNITY SUPV describe legal status after prison. They do not mean all oversight ended. RELEASED is an SCDC value and proves only departure from SCDC institutional custody as recorded. Check a detainer, SCDPPPS record, court order, or receiving agency when the next status is unclear.

Discharge

An end or change in the custodial sentence status recorded by SCDC.

Community supervision

A legal post-prison phase administered outside an institution.

Detainer

A request or legal basis for another authority to take or hold the person.

Transfer

A move between custodians or institutions, not necessarily release.

Perry Projections Are Not Releases

A projected date is not the same as the actual Release Date in the released list. SCDC's release-date calculator describes an earliest possible case scenario based on projected good-time and earned-work credits. Credits that are lost or not earned can move an actual date later.

The calculator also warns that it should not be used to determine the actual date for an already-sentenced person, omits prior or later convictions, and excludes Youthful Offender Act sentences. SCDC directs sentence questions to Inmate Records at 803-896-8531. The Greenville Release Date Lookup separates the calculation from the actual release event. Do not report an eligibility date, calculation, hearing, or Board grant as the day someone passed through Perry's gate.

Perry Parole Hearing Path

Perry is used as a parole-hearing videoconference site. That creates a local connection to the South Carolina Board of Paroles and Pardons, but a hearing event still does not prove release. The Board's hearing search and results channel is generally finalized and searchable about 30 days before a hearing. Schedules may move, so recheck the official page.

A granted decision supplies authority or approval, not the actual gate event. After a grant, confirm the SCDC Release Date and Release Type, then inspect SCDPPPS supervision. A denied decision means release was not granted at that hearing. The most reliable chain is projected eligibility, scheduled hearing, posted decision, actual SCDC release, and current supervision. Each step has its own date.

Perry Records and Contact

The SCDC institution directory identifies Perry and provides the official contact route. No matching successful facility screenshot was available in the manifest, so this page remains text-only rather than borrowing a county jail image.

Ask whether the person remains at Perry, transferred within SCDC, or has an actual SCDC release event. For a formal record, use SCDC legal and FOIA information. Identify the full name, date of birth, SCDC number if known, approximate admission period, and the exact records sought. Ask for admission, release date and type, receiving agency, and holds or detainers when relevant.

After a Perry Release

If the released record says probation or community supervision, use the official SCDPPPS offender search and contact the Greenville supervision office when identity or status is uncertain. Parole is conditional prison release by the Board in an eligible case. Probation is generally imposed by a court. Community supervision is a statutory post-release phase. Preserve the displayed label.

SC VINELink can assist with custody and supervision notification. Its source data refresh every 15 minutes, but that cycle is not a promise that each event appears in exactly 15 minutes. Registration does not automatically follow a transfer. Search the destination and register again. For formal SCDC crime-victim registration, use SCDC Victim Services rather than assuming a prior county registration carries over.

The Greenville County released-inmate search explains where Perry fits beside county, federal, immigration, and court records. SCDC remains the source for the prison release itself.

Perry Release Record Cross-Check

A Perry result should be checked in a set order. Start with the dedicated SCDC Released Inmate Search when the claimed event is an actual departure from state institutional custody. Choose a defensible date range and Greenville as the county value, then compare the SCDC ID and demographics. Read Release Date and Release Type together. A PROBATION or COMMUNITY SUPV result identifies a transition into oversight, while RELEASED remains an SCDC status that cannot rule out another authority.

Next, use SCDPPPS when supervision is shown or expected. A Board decision, including a grant, denial, deferral, or rescission, answers a parole question but does not substitute for the actual SCDC release entry. Perry also serves as a parole-hearing videoconference location, which makes careful separation of hearing site, decision, and gate event important.

For formal documentation, identify the SCDC ID, name, date range, and exact fields requested. Sentence and calculation questions go to SCDC Inmate Records at 803-896-8531. Documentary requests use SCDC's legal and FOIA channel at FOIA@doc.sc.gov. Ask for the actual release or discharge record and any releasable destination information rather than a fresh estimate from the public calculator.

Perry Sentence and Supervision Records

SCDC's current individual search and its released list serve different points in time. The current search is refreshed as of midnight the prior day and covers people now sentenced to and incarcerated in SCDC. It excludes released people, county detainees, parole or probation cases, community supervision cases, juvenile offenders housed with SCDC, and current fugitives. Once a person has actually left SCDC custody, use the dedicated released list rather than treating a vanished current record as the release evidence.

A projected date belongs to the still-incarcerated record. SCDC defines Projected Release Date as the current estimate for satisfying all incarcerated terms if work, education, and good-time credits keep accruing at the present rate. Projected Parole Eligibility is different. It marks possible eligibility or sometimes a hearing date. Neither field confirms a completed departure from Perry.

South Carolina sentence credits vary by offense. Section 24-13-150 creates an 85 percent minimum for qualifying no-parole offenses, subject to the statute's definitions and exclusions. Other qualifying SCDC prisoners may earn good-conduct credit under §24-13-210 and work or education credit under §24-13-230. Misconduct, unearned credits, corrected sentence data, consecutive terms, detainers, and later convictions can move a practical date. The public calculator also excludes Youthful Offender Act cases and omits prior or later convictions.

If Perry release is followed by supervision, compare the exact SCDC release type with the SCDPPPS offender record and Greenville office information. The Greenville SCDPPPS office is at 350 Halton Road, Suite 100, Greenville, SC 29607, with phone 864-282-4540. An absconder or warrant indicator does not itself prove current jail custody. Check the proper custody locator before saying the person has been detained again.

For notification, SC VINE offers web, mobile, and telephone channels. Its statewide line is 1-866-727-2846. A registration made while the person was in county detention does not automatically attach to the Perry record after transfer. Search the SCDC destination and register again. Formal SCDC victim registration uses SCDC Victim Services at 1-800-835-0304.
